Oh lol I haven’t done guild stuff in a while due to good old life stuff. People don’t widely use forums anymore? lol I feel so old.
The only thing is I was thinking of making a website for people to post fanart/comics they collaborate on. But I suppose that would be just like wordpress or something if people generally do all their communicating on FB now.
I’ll look into Discord though!
Hiya!
I’m thinking of starting a guild and wondering what people use to host their forums/websites and voice chat?
I was thinking of using enjin.com as a guild forum/website because I’m familiar with it but I’m wondering what DNS providers people use to register a .com for their guilds? (I don’t want to just have “blah.enjin.com”) I’ve heard that some DNS providers really blow because you don’t actually own the domain name you’re just “renting” it from them and then you always have to go through them when it comes time to pay your fees a few years later.
What DNS providers do ya’ll use for your websites to own the domain name? Is there any way (even if it’s tedious) to just directly register and pay for a domain name without using some company? I’m really unfamiliar with how the process actually works.
Also with voice chat, I’ve always liked Ventrilo, but is it best to pay for a hosting server through the Ventrilo website or use a third party company for hosting? I was thinking of having a 30-50 person Ventrilo server for starters.
I appreciate any insight or experience people have to offer~!
Have a great new year!
I’m with Hamfast on this. Make options for the upright Charr, that way my Charr warrior can still stay similar in posture to the Charr Blade Storms and Axe Fiends from GW1.
Charr Blade Storms and Axe Fiends didn’t stand upright, they hunched, maybe more-so than charr of GW2.
The Flame Legion made a big deal about standing upright, with the fringe status of the Flame Legion there’s no reason for modern charr to be standing upright.
Making an upright option for charr would require them to redesign every charr armor, not just the charr animation skeletons. An upright stance would stretch and squish all the current armor for charr in odd and random ways.

Welcome! If you need help with anything ask in map chat where-ever you are type “/m” to pull up map chat. Most of the time there will be at least one friendly person ready to help you. If you can’t find someone to help you in the open world, head to one of the main cities (there’s one 50 feet from where ever you start the game) and ask for help there.
It would be quite wasteful to buy a core account, you can find a copy of HoT online for less than $40, but before that the free account should be enough for introducing someone to the game.
If they don’t like the game much, they’re not going to run up against the inconveniences of free accounts much, and if they started feeling inconvenienced by the free account, they’re playing the game enough to like it which means it’s time to buy
Teaming up has cost me about 3 times as many losses as it has given me wins. Once I grouped with a full 5 person team after we randomly queued together and were dominating. We won many matches but then one person went to bed. The replacement did great, but then once a second person from the original group went to bed, everything feel apart.
I also joined two different PvP guilds and lost more when teaming with them than going in solo.
Also teaming with a less than full team still increases your chance of matching versus a full 5 team, which positions you at a disadvantage from the start.
No trust, no team. MMR is srs business.
that shared inventory slot will continue to pay off in the future for all sorts of scenarios
enjoy it!

I’m pretty sure you can’t.
What problem are they causing for you? Messing up screenshots or unavoidable trolls in /say or something else?
Let’s make a plan for getting your character to level 80! What is your highest level character? Is that the character you like the most? What is the character you like the most so far and what level is it at right now?
I see no reason to think that certain accounts aren’t lucky, but the reason they’re lucky may not be what any of us think.
Their RNGs are created from all sorts of random stuff, I think the reason they said they keep track of how many people have died from raptors is because they use random assortments of data like that from the game to feed their RNG equation.
But instead of character name length or content, it could be that something about their playstyle seems to favor the RNG equation. It could be their particular timing when executing skills or even the way they path their character across the map.
I know some people who got a lot of great drops daily in WvW, and I asked them about their magic find and expected I would get the same amount of good drops once I caught up to their magic find but lo and behold I’m not getting ascended rings on a daily basis.
It could be anything, but there’s no reason to think some oddity about an individual account or player couldn’t, without knowing the cause, trigger RNG favorably.
It could even be the average timing of how fast they kill things. If the RNG is asked to calculate loot constantly it could be that a player repeatedly pings the RNG for loot calculation at a favorable interval.
Basically, there’s no way to know so probably best not to worry about it.

Needs more hair from GW1. Double bun hairstyle for GW1 monk please. It was like the most popular hairstyle for any monk.
I thought Jotun were a tribe of Norn? They also look too human, we need different looking races if they’re adding some. Kodan, Tengu, and Nuhoc seem to fit the bill for different. In the Kodan or Nuhoc’s case they’re so big maybe a preteen version could be our character? Small enough not to inconvenience other players too much while being big enough to be plausible members of those races.
btw, Jotun are a totally different species. They are one of the oldest magic users in Tyria and were around to fight the elder dragons last cycle when most of the other sentient species of Tyria weren’t around at all. They have quite a heritage but are currently in a Dark Age it seems.
To be honest an addition of this race is the only thing that will spark my interest in gw2 again…
As a very old mmo player I honestly got beyond tired of playing pink skinned apes in every single game lately, so some variety would’ve been really nice in this aspect. But… Seems like anet thinks otherwise cos they only reduce customization instead of creating more of it (outfits for example… yuck)
If having a character that looks different is the only thing that would interest you in the game, then you must not actually like GW2 at all. I mean, you’re just talking about a character model and skins, where the game involves the battle playstyle, various kinds of content you can use your character for, and lots of scenery.
If the only thing that would make you play the game is something that would usually only take up 1/100th of your screen or less, then you probably wouldn’t actually play the game. You’d buy some armor, spend some money, and then be disappointed again when you couldn’t think of anything you wanted to do in the game. btw many non-pink-ape characters already in GW2.
I actually like the game, so I’d like more valuable content as the focus of production rather than an entire tedious remake of all the armors they’ve made so far.
I’ve got a suggestion, stop putting up one week limited items like these Golden Wings; I would have bought these things out right provided they fell into a week that I get paid; you see the vast amount of employers in the USA are cheap and they look to save money by paying their employees biweekly. Your marketing team needs to take biweekly paychecks into consideration because these 7 day limited items are not just costing you money from people like me they also build a sense of resentment towards your company because now I feel cheated.
Since the item I’m talking about is a Glider technically I am on topic.
Yeah they’re putting out too many sales too often it’s kind of desperate. I can only see so many new outfits and gliders in a month before the idea of getting more seems like a joke.
Really, at the rate of turnout and take-away of some of this stuff I might as well not buy so much of this because you seem to be capable of turning out new things all the time. Why should I not just wait for new things later that will probably look cooler than what’s there now?
That’s my mentality now. I don’t want to buy gems weekly and I won’t. Forget that cool thing I might’ve bought if you spaced it out more. I’m not gonna. Sell me better, ANet.
This might sound really…really funny, but hear me out.
There is no glider, instead the player’s character has their arms out while gliding and making a ‘whooosing’ sound.
When they hit an updraft, their arms rapidly flap up and down and they sound distressed perhaps.
When they do a speed-boost forward, they intensify their ‘whoooosish’ sound they make from their mouth.
You can be creative with the stealth dodge, but that’s all I want.
Thanks!
That’s an extension of the invisible glider idea, sounds great
I like the invisible glider ideas. Like this one for sure, but I was also thinking maybe things like the DBZ energy auras that they have when they fly in that show There’s so much subtlety that could be made brilliant with no visible glider as the base idea!
I just now loaded into a map and started gliding right away before the client rendered my glider model and for a few seconds it was like I could fly!
I didn’t have time to turn the camera and take a screenshot, but it was really fun seeing my character seemingly flying of her own powers. So I thought I might present this idea in hopes it might become a reality. I’d totally buy an invisible glider skin that, if anything, just left a subtle trail behind the character or some DBZ style force aura
If we can have invisible shoes I think we could have invisible gliders too!
Once they release quaggans as the 7th race we’ll be fighting the deep sea dragon.
